Even More Shenmue 2 Details Surface

Like pimples on the face of a grubby teen, so too are Shenmue 2 tidbits.

While major 3rd party games may be dropping like flies, Famitsu DC has just dropped some more info on the Shenmue 2 front: apparently, all that game data you saved up from the original will be made useful once again for the sequel, as you'll be able to make use of items you collected.

As you know, commerce will have more active role in helping you pass the time, and one way Ryu can make money is by selling some of the items he has in his possession to pawns shops, which will trade for different items at different prices, depending on the shop.

Also, we've got some new details on the mini-games you'll be playing, all of which can be bet on for a profit. There will be arm wrestling, some sort of dice game, and a Pachinco-esque game where you roll gems in an attempt to strike pins.

AM2 hasn't commented either way on whether or not we can expect more arcade games in the style of the original, but rest assured we'll be keeping tabs on that aspect, delivering any news as soon as it becomes available.
